THE N7 Z590

The all-black N7 Z590 certainly looks very nice, may not be as aggressive as the EVGA Z590 DARK but it could be a better match with some systems.

The 14 power phase design NZXT used with the N7 Z590 should be quite enough for reasonable overclocking.

Offering 4 DDR4 DIMM slots is good since it allows people to further expand their RAM later on.

Aside the 24pin power cable the N7 Z590 also requires one 8pin and one 4pin power cables.

Power on/off and reset buttons are located on the lower right corner of the motherboard.

Equipping the N7 Z590 with a total of 5 PCIe slots was a good move by NZXT (most Z590 models have 3-4).

Taking a look at the rear I/O we find the clear CMOS button, 2 Antenna ports, HDMI v2.0 port, 2 USB 2.0 ports, 4 USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (3 Type-A, 1 Type-C), 4 intel USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A ports, Realtek RTL8125BG 2.5GbE Ethernet port, 5.1 channel jacks and an S/PDIF out.

As expected, (especially from a budget-friendly model) there's no protective plate underneath the motherboard.

NZXT has placed two M.2 slots on the N7 Z590, one on top and one at the bottom as seen above.

With the Intel Core-i9 11900K and the Acer Predator Apollo 32GB 4GHz RAM installed (among other things) the N7 Z590 is up and running.
